Think it will hold up? Not finished yet, but progress is being made. (Message edited by roc on April 20, 2005) |

Looks really good! How much stuff can you fit in there? Can the passenger pillion still be used? It kind of looks like there would be a leg issue if someone was on the back. Let us know how well they work. I hate wearing a backpack. Awesome bodywork by the way. |

Now all you need is enough fuel capacity to go more than a 100 miles w/out a refill. |

I've got an S3t and my 9r doesn't compare. I'd rather ride the 9r. THey are two different beasts. I'm in the works on my own XB9rT mod. |

The bags just don't look right with all of that Carbon/Kevlar. I'll do you a favor. Send it all to me and I'll send you my black parts. hahahaha Seriously, looks very handy. |

Rek, my 9 has hit 150 miles before the light came on. I usually get between 50 and 53 MPG! |

The bags are Givi E21's so they don't hold very much, but they lock. I'm not sure about the weight. Maybe 1/6 more than the wrecked Givi mounts I modified. Probably around 10 pounds for the bags and mounts. I think I will be able to unbolt the rack in a few minutes, with maybe a pound of stuff still under the bodywork on the seat frame. I really prefer to ride the XB to the S3. At one time I had access to an S1, S2, S3, and the XB - road the XB almost always. Range? The whole idea is to pack those bags with gas. |
